Are you a DJ? Do you have technical ability, musical intuition and a flare for performing? Do you want to give your DJ career a kick-start or are you looking for that elusive big break?

On Saturday 3rd October BPM – Europe’s biggest DJing and electronic music production event - will play host to the GCI Technologies Freestyle DJ Competition 2010. This unique competition is an unmissable opportunity for DJs to compete against each other for recognition and equipment prizes. The competition is open to all DJs, playing any style of music and using any playback technology.

The first place winner will take away either a pair of Gemini CDJ-600 CD players OR a Cortex HDC-3000 media player OR a pair of 5” Ikey Audio Active Monitor Speakers and a 10” Ikey Active Sub. As well as the equipment prize, the winner will also gain the prestige and exposure of being crowned the 2010 GCI Technologies Freestyle DJ of the Year. They will also be invited back to play a Main Stage set on the Saturday at BPM 2011 and also provided with overnight accommodation.

There will also be a second place price of either a pair of Gemini CDJ-210 CD players OR a Cortex HDC-1000 media player OR a pair of 5” Ikey Audio Active Monitor Speakers. Each of the four finalists will also win a pair of Cortex CHP-2500 Headphones and a pair of VIP tickets for BPM2011.

The competition will take place on the BPM Main Stage beginning with 16 contestants competing in 4 heats to impress a panel of industry judges. During the heats each DJ will have just five minutes to show what they can do behind the decks, before the judges choose a winner to go through to the final. The judges will base their decision on technical ability, music selection and crowd interaction. The final will take place on the Main Stage at the end of the day, with each finalist performing another five minute showcase mix. The judges will then select a runner up and the winner who will become the GCI Technologies Freestyle DJ of the Year 2010.
